In 2001 Gilad relocated to New York and co – founded Designfenzider, a test lab for his ideas. Gilad’s designs question the perception of functional everyday objects.

Candlestick #5, designed by Ron Gilad, is an open rectangular “box” defined by a frame of powder coated dark grey metal, which visually seem to protect the floating candle and flame within. The candle is held in a mirror polished silver plated aluminum holder. The design is minimal and elegant.
